Home of the world’s largest oil company, Khobar is also a city of shopkeepers and merchants. Hop in and take a wonderful ride around Khobar, one of the finest places in Saudi Arabia.
Khobar today has its modern malls and boulevards with internationally recognized franchise shops and also well maintained eating places. Long time ago, the city is simply a small port found on the Persian Gulf and it is also a fishing village which is inhabited by Al Dawasir tribe members. When oil was discovered in the 1930s, Khobar was then made into a major commercial and shopping center. It was also made into an industrial port.
Due to the progress and development of the city, Khobar has remarkably transformed and extended its waterfront into a beautiful and scenic Beirut-like corniche with magnificent parks, nicely decorated and yummy foods served in eateries, and of course warm and pristine family beaches.
